If Iran is not stopped from entrenching itself militarily in Syria or turning Lebanon into a "factory for precision missiles" aimed at Israel, then Israel will stop it, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu told Russian President Vladimir Putin in Moscow on Monday.

"A special thank you that you agreed to have the meeting today here, in particular", Putin said according to a Hebrew translation of his statement provided by Netanyahu's office.

Israel has reportedly launched more than 100 attacks on weapons facilities, military convoys and bases inside Syria to blunt Iran's expansion.

Russian Federation is a military ally of Bashar Assad, Syria's president, and of the Iranian regime, with which it conducts major arms deals.
